Transfer targets

Too dear: Astra walk away from Ştefan Bodişteanu

$1.4M was the most the club would pay and Botosani were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Astra

The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Player ratings

Andrei Ratiu beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

David Barbu in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Astra this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Astra

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Bogdan Ratiu was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

Adrian Deac: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Squad

Young player of the week: Florin Iancu

At 17 he was the best of everybody his age in the division for one weekend. Nobody should build a career on it and everybody quietly does.

Match

Astra draw a blank against Pandurii

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Pandurii defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Squad

A season on the outside for Gonçalo Moreira

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Astra has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match

Cup progress for Stromsgodset

A 2‑1 win over Odd, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market

Stromsgodset turn down Sarpsborg 08 for Kreshnik Krasniqi

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings

Fredrik Ardraa, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 8.32

A mark of 8.32 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 9 signed and 0 gone

That is the business done at Stromsgodset until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Transfer targets

Kotaro Uchino turns down Stromsgodset

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Brondby keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Player ratings

Ole Enersen scored one and made one — 7.33

Two of the goals had his name somewhere on them, which is the afternoon a manager wants from anybody asked to both create and finish. 7.33, and 2 involvements.

Squad

Words exchanged at Stromsgodset

Mattias Lamhauge and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets

No deal for Eirik Haugan at that price

Stromsgodset offered $150.0K; Molde said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Squad

Amar Diagne arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Amar Diagne has, at Stromsgodset, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad

6 goals for Daniel Tanase

The match ball belongs to Daniel Tanase, whose 6 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Match

Astra run riot against Viitorul

15‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Squad

The knee: Daniel Maxim out for 43 days

43 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Astra lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

4 goals for Daniel Deac

The match ball belongs to Daniel Deac, whose 4 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Player ratings

Mihai Keseru scores twice — 9.68

Two goals and a mark of 9.68 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Astra turn down Slovacko for Daniel Tanase

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings

Florin Cicaldau goes up and wins it — 7.60

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.60 for the rest of it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Astra

Daniel Tanase and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings

Bogdan Ratiu scored one and made one — 7.91

Two of the goals had his name somewhere on them, which is the afternoon a manager wants from anybody asked to both create and finish. 7.91, and 2 involvements.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Lars Vilsvik has been here 16 seasons

421 appearances across 16 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Player ratings

Fredrik Ardraa, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 8.13

A mark of 8.13 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Gustav Wikheim yet — 7.91

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.91 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

A falling-out at Stromsgodset

Gustav Valsvik and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Lars Vilsvik signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Lars Vilsvik commits to Stromsgodset for another 2 years.

The terraces

Stromsgodset supporters have found a favourite in Fredrik Ardraa

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 19-year-old it feels ownership of. Fredrik Ardraa has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad

Words at Stromsgodset training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jesper Taaje is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

Still no ink between Stromsgodset and Gustav Valsvik

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Stromsgodset, another week without a signature from Gustav Valsvik.

Transfer targets

Stromsgodset try to borrow Daniel Tanase

Astra have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.
